All Classes: Students learned about two contradictory events from WWI, the war atrocities committed by the German soldiers in their advance through Belgium, and the Christmas Truce from 1914.

We read from the two documents below:


We also watched this short documentary on the 1914 Truce:


Students then wrote a reflection to the event by answering the question:
How could these two events take place in the same year of WWI?
- Consider being a soldier vs. being a human
- Consider when these events took place
- Consider the role of humanity & violence in a time of war
